My wife and I were residents in Hobart for 5 years through the late 80s. Despite that there are still many parts of Tasmania left for us to visit. We recently returned from a 6-week visit staying in the north and west. One week in January 2012 was spent at Cradle Chalet at Moina from [...]

One of my dad’s goals was to climb Marion’s Lookout, the tallest viewing point at Cradle Mountain, while were in Tasmania. It was only 11.5km uphill. The family put on our jumpers, ate a big breakfast and caught the shuttle bus to Ronny Creek to start our hike. Mum had cooked 15 chicken drumsticks and [...]

Dutch backpacker Anna met some interesting people on the way to the top of Mount Wellington. Bushwalking, hiking, kayaking and climbing are my favourite things to do in Australia. Tasmania is one of the best places in the world to do all these outdoorsy activities. On my second day in Hobart, the capital of Tasmania, [...]

The first time we visited Cataract Gorge I was surprised how close it was to our house in Launceston. We climbed up a big hill that mum nicknamed ‘butt-cruncher hill’. It wasn’t easy climbing up the ‘Zig Zag’ track but it did help to jump from rock to rock. We checked out the look-out a [...]

From the second I landed in Tasmania, there was something in the air that told me I was going to like it here. Quite literally, I think it may have been the air itself, because as I walked down the tarmac I couldn’t help but take in deep breath after deep breath of air, filling [...]

Short distances on great roads with little traffic (I live in Sydney!) allowed me the time, space and rare pleasure of being able to indulge my photographer’s eye (alas with just an i-phone) from a fun perspective. Just pick a theme. It was soon clear there was plenty of Tasmanian wildlife willing to pose. These [...]
